BDS Suspension Front Adjustable Heavy Duty Track Bar 03-13 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 4WD
Description
One of the most failed components on the front end of your Ram truck is the track bar. And why wouldn't it be, its responsible for ensuring your front axle sits squarely under the frame, and with the amount of weight sitting on top of it due to that heavy Cummins engine, that's a lot of stress.For those of us that have lifted or leveled trucks, having a heavy duty track bar that can take the additional stress is even more important. Fortunately, BDS Suspension has a great option thats built substantially stronger than the stock unit, and its adjustable! This means that it can properly center the front axle on trucks with 0-3" of front lift, and when used in conjunction with a track bar relocation bracket, it'll work on lift heights of 4-6".Constructed from 1-3/8" solid steel stock, this adjustable track bar is built to handle on and off-road abuse, and it uses a fine threaded pinch bolt design turnbuckle to allow easy tuning to properly recenter the front axle for a range of lift heights. The track bar is designed for proper clearance around critical front end components and features gusseted ends for additional rigidity. The ends utilize high-durometer polyurethane bushings with thick-walled steel sleeves for strength and reliability. Parts come with a high quality black e-coated finish for a great look and excellent corrosion resistance.

About BDS Suspension
BDS Suspension was started in 1996 by a business group who felt it was past time to create a suspension company that truly had the best interest of the off road consumer as its' foundation. With over 45 combined years experience with other major suspension companies, both buying and selling, the individuals that would make up the BDS name were frustrated by the lack of quality and the unwillingness to make things right by these 4x4 companies. So, they set out to create a suspension company that would be the best and made a list of the things they felt were not right and made it their mission to correct them.
One of the most important of these wrongs they were looking to right were that of other companies warranties. Too often, the standard protocol was that a broken or damaged part from another manufacturer was denied warranty because of abuse or neglect. For BDS, its simple, if it breaks, they'll replace it, and that is the motto in which they have based their entire warranty off of. So, they welcome you, try and break it, if you do, they'll replace it and probably try to determine a way to increase the rigidity of the product to ensure it never happens again.
BDS LIFT KITSWhile most people whom have heard of BDS Suspension automatically think of "lift kits," that ony touches on the wide variety of suspension and steering related products that BDS offers. BDS understands that not everyone is after a complete lift kit, but still after the quality BDS products bring to the table. Some of our most popular products from BDS are replacement adjustable track bars and dual steering stabilizer kits that in many instances can be installed on a completely stock truck, or one that's leveled or lifted. Other popular "non lift kit" parts are leveling kits that include upgraded shocks, progressive rate coil springs, heavy duty control or radius arms, and even leaf springs.
When shopping for various BDS Suspension parts, we understand that all of the choices can be overwhelming! Shock options, dual steering stabilizers, replacement coil springs or spacers.....and the list goes on! As you're considering the right suspension upgrades for you and your truck, never hesitate to reach out to us for an honest opinion of what we'd recommend for your particular build and budget. Not everyone "needs" every option and we can help you weigh the benefits of each.

Adjustable Trac bar
"Installed the BDS adjustable trac bar and had it aligned. Works like a champ!!"
Grease it Good!
"I followed the instructions to install but misread the part about greasing the bushings before installing the bushings into the eyelets. I ended up with a ton of squeeking and ultimately switched to the Carli track bar instead if trying to deal with pulling all the bushings out somehow. It was also more difficult to install just based on the design. Other than that it tightened up my steering like I hoped for and worked as expected (aside from the squeaking)."

Q&A

- Does this product need a certain track bar bracket relocation to work or can I use a rough country drop bracket that I have on my truck?
